SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Lord Howick has reason to thank his stars for having so shaped his political manoeuvres that henceforth the wits and dandies of St. Giles's will have their lips as familiar with his Lordship's name and noble qualities, as with gin and bitters, or copperas froth. The Church-hating Vis count has been taken under the especial protection of a morning print which circulates among readers knowing nought of Protestantism but through its rancorous co lumns, which, however, extends its eulogies in common with the sweet-tempered Viscount to every other conspi rator against the Church and State—to every criminal scheme of the most prcfligate agitator—to every disloyal and blaspheming priest in Ireland—to every robber, incen diary, and cut-throat, released by the Viceroy's favour from gaol, or through the terrors of absconding IN itacEst:3 enables! to defraud the gallows—to Constantine, Marquis of Nor manby, and to a coadjutor worthy of him, John M‘Hale. Proud, therefore, as well as grateful, Lord Howick ought to be for this public admission to the honours of such a society. Exult he may lawfully in the solemn record of an authority so discriminating as yesterday morning's print — that his Lordship has actually now arrived at such a pitch of penetration and foresight as to be en a par with the great mass of intelligent persons who flourished in Ireland about the year 1738, that is just a century ago, and every one of which vast body was, according to the Popish Ga zette of yesterday, alive to the enormity of an Established Church, which did not suit the priest-ridden and super stitious savages constituting the numerical majority of native Irish, any more than it suits them at the present hour ? How flattering to the wisdom of the Whig-Radical War Secretary, that in the year 1838 he sees quite as far into causes, consequences, and future prospects, as did the bulk of educated people in Ireland an hundred years before him I But mark the botherpatedness of this Roman Catho lic scold. He says there was not an intelligent man in Ire land who did not at that distant period hold the Protest sr.t Established Church in the same abhorrence that he, the writer, or Lord Hossielk himself, does now. We presume, therefore, that, according to this conscientious historiogre pher, there were no intelligent Protestants in Ireland dur ing the 18th century ; that all the education and " intelli gence" of the country being co-extensive with all the hos• tility to Protestantism which existed there, must have been confined to Papists !—a relative condition of the Members professing those two creeds, which, in spite of that all history tells us, may by some unknown possibility have at that time been their true con lit.on ; in which case we can only say, that the intellectual and moral qualities of Pro testant and Papist must have been marvellously transposed since the year 1738, inasmuch as the Irish Protestants of the present day are on a par with the foremost communities of the civilized world for intelligence, no less thin for those other high attributes by which sound intellectual attain ment is for the most part accompanied, while, if we seek for an exact personification of whatever is most ignorant, superstitious, demoralized, barbarous, treachercus, bruta lized, and inhuman on earth, it is in Irish Popery that we shall find, at the first glance, the most conspicuous and frightful examples. But as to Lord Howick. This Lord, we understand, has for some years been launching through out private society his peevish sarcasms and peremptory denunciations against the Protestant Church in Ireland. He has said, not in confidence, but openly, as we are in formed, even so far back as at the accession of the present Ministry, he being a member of that Ministry, that the Irish Protestant Church ought not to he supported: Very well : with what face could he, and on what grounds did he, pro mote and urge through Parliament those piecemeal attacks upon the Protestant Church of Ireland which formed the grand, or at least the ostentihle, topic of difference between the Conservative party and the Radical Whigs ? Lord Howick and his colleagues enforced the necessity of making one concession after another to the Papists, on the express and unequivocal assurance that such concessions would reconcile the " People of Ireland" to the Establishment, and tend to the stability of the Protestant Church l Ay, these Ministers were not ashamed to adopt the pet phrases of the tyrant whose livery they wore, and to bar, as he did by implication, the tight of the brave and loyal Protestants of Ireland to be considered as any portion of the " Irish People." Lord Howick and his colleagues were hypo crites enough to preach up the usefulness and efficiency of their measures for rendering the Protestant Church " more stable," not merely in speeches from their places on the Treasury Bench, but in speeches framed by them, to be delivered by the Sovereign to the assembled Legislature. They put into King William's mouth a speech recommending their Tithe Bills to Parliament for the sake of giving the Protestant Church increased "secu rity and stability?' They put into Queen Victoria's mouth, in her very last speech, a passage containing hopes that the Bill just passed would secure the rights and serve the interests of the Church—that very Bill of which Lord Howick implied such absolute and emphatic contempt as to declare, while addressing the House on one of its stages, that the real question upon the tithe subject was, whether the Church should exist at all? Was ever duplicity so flagi tious as this betrayed by any public man ? Was ever any cant more despicable than that of Lord Howick and his brethren of the Cabinet, when they pretended to believe that the concessions proposed by them would pacify the Roman Catholics, and politically reconcile them to the Church, while the priests were every hour declaring that no such paltry sacrifices would pacify them, or the people whom they governed—that they would take nothing but the entire downhill of the Church as a satisfaction to the " people of Ireland I" Nay, what impudence was there in the hypocrisy of these Ministers attempting to palm their instalment nostrums upon the Protestants of both countries as sovereign and effectual cures for the tur bulence of Popish sedition, when O'Connell himself, in daily letters published throughout the kingdom, in nightly speeches spokan to the very beard of Lord John Russell, told them .nat neither he nor the Roman Catholics of Ireland would be quieted by such petty concessions— that it was as instalments only that he would accept their bills—that he would have his 20s. in the pound, viz., the entire overthrow of the Protestant Establish ment ! It is pretty clear, therefore, from these in disputable facts, that Lord Howick and his colleagues were playing off a succession of tricks upon the people of Eng land, when they represented the measures which they pro posed, as tending in the slightest degree to the tranquillity of Ireland. They had proofs of the contrary before their eyes and ears every day they entered the House of Com mons, or read an Irish newspaper. O'Connell charged them openly with " children's play." Lord Howick's last Parliamentary exhibition was an oblique acknowledgment that the system of legislation proposed by himself and his colleagues to Parliament, had been brought forward on false pretences. They tell us we must go onwards—to what P we inquire. They confess to the abolition of the Protestant Establishment. Then we answer, "It is time to stop." And, if we are not greatly deceived, the via in ertias, though but tardily resorted to, will prove somewhat stronger than the " movement."—Times. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has, in a long letter to the members of the Royal Society, announced his intention of retiring from the Chair of that institution, and has, we regret to see, imputed this step to the scanti ness of his pecuniary means. His Royal Highness's in come being, we believe, 20,0001. per annum, with apart ments in Kensington Palace, besides the handsome jointure which the lady, generally esteemed to be his wife, derives from her late husband, Sir George Buggin. There is no degradation so mortifying or uncalled for as that which a man voluntarily inflicts upon himself; and unless his Royal Highness's letter is put forth as a feeler, we think it is in every respect ill-advised and unnecessary. There is, apparently, no possible way in which the office of President of the Royal Society can impose upon its possessor an outlay of more than 500/. a-year. It is essen tial that he should be a person possessing a house large enough to receive large evening psrties,to provide whom with tea, coffee, cakes, andthe other et ceteras of a supperless rout, the sum we have mentioned will go a great way, and this to a gentleman with 20,000/. p er annum cannot be a very mighty affair. If the object of the letter be, as we have hinted, a feeler to induce the Government or the conntry to come forward for the purpose of alleviating the Royal Duke's necessities, however excusable it may be in a gene ral point of view, it is evidently misplaced : it partakes very much of the " a propos des bottes, parlons des raves." To us it does not seem at an necessary that in retiring from the chair of the Royal Society the Duke need have ad verted to his pecuniary affairs ; but if the Duke's income be insufficient to enable him to maintain his rank in the State—a point upon which we are not competent to offer any opinion--what do his friends, the Whig Minister s , say to it? Though we admire nothing about the D u k e of Sus sex's politics but their cons is tency, that very quality should give them every value intheir. eyes ; and the more so, if we believe, in truth we may, that, to a consider, which, we they who, with a lavish certain degree at least, his Yetißoal Highness has been a martyr to those opinions. for the Queen's mother, when hand, could provide so largely them, not only met the Duke's situation was pressed upon Mr. Gillon'a motion with coldnes e but th , g .e ratitu most ea d n e d ter c m on in s e is d . opposition. This, indeed , is Whi g tency—this their return to the only one of the Royal famil y who has been wrong enough t o think them right. Re gretting as we do the manner in wh ich the subject has been brought before the country, we are not the less desirous that i it should have a fair and dile consideration n the proper P r Ety . s t elaAel, 7 lsr we believe there is no feeling more d g he country than adesire that no son or augihter r+i 4 F7l ,.. e o G eorfre „`. . should have any reasonable want unsupp Led.

Under the present system all the in dustrious classes are sacrificed to the landlords. The far mers have the same interest in a free trade that the rest of the community have. When the trade in Corn in England was free, which it was substantially till a comparatively recent period, the English farnrr could rid himself in years of plenty of what the home consumption did not demand, by exportation. By keeping the prices in an artificial state here, the English farmer is deprived of this resource. A great deal of nonsense is talked in some papers about Hol land and Genoa and sonic other States having gone to decay because they imported corn. Their rise or decay had nothing to do with corn. A small community may, from circumstances, be elevated into an undue decree of importance, and may he led to engage in wars, the ex pense of which may strike at the foundation of their prosperity. Al cou.itic., v.-I:cher great or Etri.l l , rniv ruin themselves by extravagance. A small country like Holland is of course coorviir mined than a great country like ...... Britain. But the question of a free trade in corn is quite distinct from considerations like these. If a country is highly taxed, all classes should bear their fair share. But the Corn-laws exempt a particular class from their share, and make the rest of the community bear an addition to their fair proportion of the burdens which ought to be borne by the landowners. It is notorious that the English manufacturers must sell their manufactures abroad at what they can obtain in a competition with foreigners ; and that the price abroad determines the price at home. While, therefore, the English manufacturer cannot obtain more for his goods than the foreign manufacturer, the landowner compels him to pay twica as much for food. If this is not robbery we know not the meaning of the term. — Morning Chronicle. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, 521 , 3% 28. BENJAMIN PARKER'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors of this bankrupt was held to-day for the choice of assignees and the proof of debts. Ho was a wholesale grocer of Botoiph-lase, Tower-street, and is at present confined in Newgate to await his trial on a charge of forgery. The greater amount of his debts, it appears, were contracted a short time prkr to the taking out of the fist, doubtless with the intent to defraud his creditors, as be de camped with property to N:wcastle, and was about to sail for America. However, his chsign was fctitra:ed, fur Mr. Feet, jun., one of the r.ssiitar,t. ny•s!.c.ngws of the Court, with great alacrity followed in pursuit, nod afcer much exertion d:sco vered ha re!reat at an inn in Nerrcatle. There be teas exa mined before the rnagistrlt , s, and subsequently sent to Lon. don, when on his arrival a charge of forgery was preferred against him, on which he stands committed. Proof having been ad,ii,tted to the event of 4,0121. Ga. 6d., Messrs. Benjamin Hawes and Thomas Burton Colpi:ts Harri son were chosen assignees, and the meeting adjourt,ed. It was rumoured in Court that the bankrupt's friends would eventually come forward and pay 20s. in the pound to have the fiat annulled. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Srrr. 28 IN rile. IEATTER 01' HORATIO CLAGSTT, ESQ. Mr. Coons, at the rising of tire Court, made an importan application on the part cf Mr. Clagett, the son-in- law of the late Chas. Day, Esq. Ile was discharged under the Act about two years ago from a large amount of debts and liabi lities, and the present application was to obtain a rehearing under the 67th sec. of 7th George IV. Mr. Clagett bad in serted in his schedule a Mr. Reuben Terrewest, an attorney, on an annuity transaction, who he believed had advanced the money. Some considerable time afterwards Mr Terrewest applied for the annuity as the attorney of a Miss Elizabeth Banks, who, it appeer;:d, was the party named in the deed. The name WAS not remernb.TA by Mr. Clagett from the cir cumstance that gentlemen did not always take the trouble they should in such transactions. He considered that he had been discharged from the claim as he had from his other liabi lities. The application was made for the first time in her name. He had no means of paying the money, and he was taken in execution for about 7001. the arrears of the annuity. He remained some time in prison, not knowing shat course to pursue, a bother again to petition or to apply for a re-hear ing, in order to insert the debt in the schedule already filed. An application, was made to Mr. Justice Coltman on the sub ject. He was not disposed to discharge Mr. Clagett ; but it subsequently ascertained that an informality existed in the proceedings, and about a week ago Mr. Clagett was dis charged out of custody by a Judge at chambers. He now came for a re-hearing to insert the debt, in order that he might be relieved from the liability of the annuity. Mr. Commissioner LAW inquired the nature of the infor mality. Was the deed tainted? Mr. Cooas said the judgment on the warrant of attorney had not been revived, and on that ground the discharge was ob tained. The facts were fully set forth in the affidavit of Mr. Clagett, and there was a pointiof great importance mentioned. Mr. Terrewest, in a letter he wrote to Mrs. Cla g ett, spoke of the money as his own. The question was, whether the present application came within the words of the statute. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked whether an action had been tried? Mr. Comm said Mr. Clagett had been taken in execution on the warrant of attorney be had given, which was given in the name of Elizabeth Banks. Mr. Commissioner LAW had no objection to grant the application, and without a rule nisi. —Application for a re hearing granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 130TV-STREET. Mrs. Sarah Grace, residing in No. 13, Duke's-court, Bow street, waited upon Mr. itltmsnum. yesterday, and stated that in consequence of what she had lately seen and heard, from persons in the house, she believed that an aged female was confined in a dark, dirty, and cold room in the back part of the premises against her will, and, from all the circumstances, she considered that the Magistrates ought to investigate the matter. The door of the room was always kept locked, and she had once seen two persons go into it, and talk to the individual confined, who she was certain, was a female, and she begged the two persons to send for her attorney. From the statement of Mrs. Grace, Mr. Mitssnum, thought it right to order the police, after her deposition was written down, to inquire into the case. Shackell, the officer, accom panied by a police sergeant, No. 15 F, proceeded to the house, and on their return reported that they had seen the fe male, who was 70 years of age, and quite blind. She stated to them that she was the widow of Richard Parker, who was executed for the part he took in the mutiny at the Nore in 1797, and whose history is well known, and for some time she had been in a state of the utmost destitution. The room in which she lived agreed with the description given of it by Mrs. Grace; but the person with whom she lodged was kind to her, and although she had not been able for a considerable time to pay her rent, silo was supported and taken care of by the landlady, to whom she seemed much attached. She had received a guinea from the Duke of Devonshire, and two guineas from Miss Coutts Burdett. She resided at No. 27, Middle New North-street, Gough square, when she received the money from Miss C. Burdett ; and several petitions to dif ferent individuals were dated from that place. Her solicitor was Mr. John Primrose, Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square; but she had ascertained that ha had removed, and could not find him now. She was entitled to some property at Exeter, but, having no money to enable her to institute proceedings to get possession of it, sho could not obtain a shilling of the rents. The officer stated that she was unwilling to leave the room, and it was by her own desire that she was kept there ; but he was sure she would be much better to remove to the work house. Ina few minutes the old lady appeared, supported by the officer and Mrs. Grace, and was supplied with a seat opposite to the bench. Mr. MINSHULL—Are you a widow ? Mrs. Parker—Yes, Sir. Mr. MINSHULL—How long have you been a widow ? Mrs. Parker—A very long time now. Since the 17th of June 1797. Mr. Mixstivu.—Have you anything to live upon ? Mrs. Parker—l have a small estate at Exeter; but I have nothing from it, although I am entitled to the rents. There was a case depending for some time about it, which was decided by Judge Burrows in 1823, at Exeter C•istle, in my favour; and Ser geant Pell was my Counsel. I have been very ill-used about it, however, and do not derive any benefit from the property. Mr. MnisttuLL—llas any one got any money of yours? Mrs. Parker—What should belonc , to ma at Exeter is kept from me ; and I ought now, instead of appearing in these rags, to be living like a respectable person. Mr. MINSILULL—What is the worth of the property ? Mrs. Parker—lt is worth about 2001. a year; and James Francis is the tenant of it. A person named Abernethy, who has got my papers, is to seek for my solicitor, Mr. Primrose, who, I expect, will assist me in recovering it. Mr. MrwsueLL—Did the property ever belong to your husband ? Mrs. Parker— Oh, yes. It was left to him by will, and in his will he left it to me. I proved the will before Mr. Watson, of Doctors' Commons, on the 31st of July, 1820. ( She then alluded to the melancholy circumstances attending her husband's death, which are well known, and seemed much affected in speaking of his fate.) Mr. MiNsutTLL—Have you ever received any money from the property at Exeter ? Mrs. Parker—Yes., Sir ; I have re ceived hundreds of pounds. Mr. MINSHULL inquired how she bad been supported lately? Mrs. Parker said that having petitioned the Queen Dowager her Majesty bad sent her a check for hi., and Miss Coutts Burdett had been kind enough to acrid her 21. 2s. on two oc casions. A person wrote the letters for her, and enclosed her portrait to convince those to whom she applied that she was no impostor. A petition had been presented to her present Mrjesty but no answer had yet been returned. She applied to the late K;ng, and in answer to her p e titi on rece i ve d t h e following letter, enclosing a draft for 20/. : " Major-General Wheatly has submitted Mrs. Parker's letter to the King, and his Majesty having been pleased to consider her vex./ distressed situation, has commam.l.2d General Wheatly to send her a donation of 201., for which sum a (haft is which his M a j esty b egs M rs. Parker will accept. St. James's Palace, A ugust 14, 1830. " enclosed, which 1832, his Majesty sent her another sum of ten pounds, and every individual to whom her very distressed situation has become known has shown great kindness to her. Mr. MINsHULL asked her why she did not go to some hospi tal, in order to see if any thing could he done for her eyes ? Mrs. Parker said she had got an order to admit her into the Rt'Y al We ' n'in3ler °I a b t u i t n s a he : . .l. irdt wish'ionti id pay landlady, to w h om indebted for he e ehe r constant art er attention, and like smt h o ieg g h : t. a t ga l e c gt r r e ea justtmly much Oney as weoru THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1838. wise to pay some very small bills which she owed to a person who had given her bread and other articles, and when these accounts were settled she would go anywhere. Mr. MlNstiuu. then inquired of the sons of the landlady, who were present, what kind of a place it was where the old woman was kept, and what they gave her to eat; and they described the room, and mentioned that she bad tea, coffee, and eggs in the morning, and was very well used. They gave her every thing she required for nothing, and she was attended by an orphan child who lived in the house. At the earnest desire of Mr. MiNsitt:LL, the poor creature at last consented to go imrnAiately to the Ophthalmic lies pital, and she was told that every attention would there be paid to her, and when she recovered her sight, or was con sidered in a fit state to go about her property, she would be discharged. Ste left the office accompanied by an officer and Mrs. Grace, who were reqaested to see her safely conducted to the Hospital ; and the Magistrate ordered her to receive, when admitted, the sum of 10i. front the poor-box of this office.

Yesterday Stephen Jordan, the driver of the c abriolet No. 299, was brought before Messrs. RooEns and Wurnsm, charged by John Green, the driver of the cabriolet No. 45. with being drunk and furious driving, injuring his cab, and assaulting him. Mr. WITHAM said that very shortly, he was happy to state, an Act of Parliament would empower the Magistrates to commit such fellows at once to the treadmill ; he consulted v ith Mr. RooEßs, and they convicted the prisoner in and fur the assault on the prosecutor, and unless the money was paid, he v ould be committed to the House of Correction for four months. He was eventually taken to prison, in default of payment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET . John Symes, who desc:ibcd himself as a medical student tforn the country, liviog at No. 3, Dean-street, Borough, was placed at the bar before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HALL, charged with having violently assaulted Joh n Hawkins, of Conduit court. A policeman saw the blood spinning from the complainant's heal, while the defendant was striking him:with a stick. The tick was handed to the Magistrate. It was nearly as thick as a man's wrist; had a large knob, and was apparently capa ble of felling an ox. Mr. CHAMBERS directed the individual who had been pointed out by the complainant to be also included in the c‘lar , ;Te of assault. Mr. John ROT, tailor, of Great Marlborcu . sh-street, accordinly p!ae d before the bar. The defence of the accused was that they had been first at tacked. The Bench were of opinion that the assaults had been proved, and the fine of 31. was inflicted on Mr. Syracs, and 2/. on Mr. Rdley. The money was immediately paid. Mr. CHAMBERS remark: that no person of any r.speta bility would carry about with him such a formidable stick as that used by Mr. Symcs. Mr. Symes, on receiving back his stick, said on quitting the office that he should have no ditEoul7 in proving that his respectability wan quite equal to that of the Magistrate who had fined him. QUEEN- S Q UA RE. Caroline White, a girl only seventeen years of ate, was yesterday brought up for rc-exam , nation, charged with lite rally stripping; her mistress's house in Culeshill-street, Pimlico. lint. Elizabeth Morgan, a widow lady, went about six weeks ago to Margate, leaving the prisencr in charge of the house, the different apartments of which were locked, with the excep tion of those left for the prisoner's Ire. On her return, about three weeks since, she discovered that every lock had been forced, and that two gold watches, a quantity of jewellery, linen, and furniture of different descriptions had been carried off, amounting in value to nearly one hundred pounds. The prisoner, who had the effrontery to declare she knew nothing about it, was then given into custody, and much time has been occupied in endeavouring to apprehend a young man who is strongly suspected of having assisted in the robbery. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. Albion Copper — - 8,0005/. eh. 31/. pd 12 4,090 1/. ss. Alten 151. sh. 121. 10s pd 1$ 10,009 ... .....

REVIEW IN THE PHOENIX PARK.—Yesterday the troops in the garrison assembled in marching order on the Fifteen Acres, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, previous to a re view. The Royal Artillery, 2d Dragoon Guards, Bth Hussars, 17th Lancers, 7th Fusiliers, 42d and 79th Highlanders and 96th Regiment were present at that hour. Immediately after, Sir Edward Blakeney arrived on the ground, attended by his Aides-de-Camp. At a quarter past twelve, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant left the Vice-regal Lodge on horseback, ac companied by his Staff, and followed by the Marchioness in a carriage. His Excellency was dressed in coloured clothes, and wore his decorations. In the Marchioness's carriage were seated Lord John Russell, Lord Lansdowne, and Lord Moe peth. Among the military men present in coloured clothes were Sir W. Scott, who excited considerable attention from the reflected glory attached to the honoured name he bears. The troops marched past the illustrious party assembled round the Viceroy in slow and quick time, and subsequently per formed several military manoeuvres with beautiful precision. Previously to the termination of the sham fight which wound up the day's proceedings, the troops moved off to Castleknock and practised in the wooded ground the curious and interest ing tactics of an ambuscade. The various regiments left the ground at half-past three o'clock, shortly before which time the Viceregal party had retired. —Dublin Pilot of Tuesday. PROMENADING IN RAILROAD COACHES. —In papers on Railroads published in the Scotsman in 1824, we anticipated that the locomotive coaches might be made of such a breadth as to permit the passengers to walk in them ; and that, by joining one coach to another, and having open corn-, munications between them, the walk might be of such a l en g th as to serve for recreation, as en the deck of a steam-boat. Every body knows the irksomeness of sitting long in a st?ge coach, without the power of stretching the limbs, or getting away from a disagreeable companion. The idea we threw out is already in part realized in America, as we learn from the subjoined statement. The Great Western Railway may admit of this improvement in consequence of its increased breadth:—" The passenger carriages of the American rail ways are extremely large and commodious. They are seated for sixty passengers, and are made so high in the roof, that the tallest person may stand upright in them without inconvenience. There is a passage b e t ween t h e sea t s , ex tending from end t o end, with a door at b ot h extrem i t i es ; an d the coupling of the carriages, is so arr ange d, t h at t h e passengers m ay walk f r om end to end qf' a whole (r u i n w ith ou t o b s truction. In winter t he y are heated by st oves . Th e b o dy o f e a c h of these carri a g es measures from fifty to sixty feet in length, and is supp orted on two four-wh ee l e d t ruc k s , 'furnished with friction-rollers, and moving on a vert i ca l pi vo t, i n the manner formerly allude d to in describing the construction of the locomotive engines. The flooring of the carriages is laid on longitudinal beams of wool, strengthened with suspension rods of iron."— Stevenson's American Engineering. AUTUMNAL INFLUENCES—That each season produces its appropriate and peculiar effects, both in the animal and vegetabl e e c o nomy, is pretty generally admitted; thou g h in its more minute operations, a sufficient accuracy of observa tion. has r are ly b een a tt a i ne d. On the subject of the Ha i r, and the relaxing agency exercised on it at this particular season, enough has recently been - set forth to show the neces sity of di rect i ng espec i a l a tt en ti o n to this point. A mild yet effectual stimulant is required to counteract this tendency, and the popularity of Oldridge's Balm of Columbia points it out as the most salutary and efficient application. The corn trade has, during the last week, super seded all the interest usually bestowed on the Lords and their satellites. The price of wheat has fallen to a few pence be low seventy-three shillings, and, therefore, the duty has been raised five or six times the amount of the reduction. There cannot be a question that now there is in the country such a supply as will meet the present demand, and prevent any scar city till the harvest has been brought into the market. But the dealers who, by capital and management, have a monopo lizing power over the market, are understood to have com bined to keep up the price, if possible, as near the open- port average as they can, both that they may introduce the - p rain they have bought abroad, and that they may sell to the g be t advantage the stock now on hand. It is thus that the s speculeor,, f a r home farmer profits nothing from the Corn-laws; but while their rents are kept up, the foreign grower derives the advantage, the foreign consumer is made to suffer, and the consumer home is made to pay for the advantage of the the Colonelsafety T o h f o t m li farmer,ieson is and employed, the advantage through the of columns m l landholder. of f ol d 7 he e er.

Vint, Hutton, and Co., of Sunderland, a party of gentlemen, in number 87, went to witnes s th e p ower and perfection of the machinery of this mill, which is driven by two steam-engines, one of 80 the other of 12-h or S o p ower , driving 150 cylindrical rollers, with wheels and straps almost ianuinerable. A printing press was alio in requisition, when is presence of the company, and in the short space o f six minutes—a bundle of rags was thrown into the mill, menu f tetured into a beautiful sheet of paper, six feet six inches broad, and of great length ; and which was printed off and presented to the visitors with all the 87 names upon it, all within six minutes. • On Wednesday night a youth, the son of Mr. Trench, of Albany-street, Regent's Park, took up a gun with which his father had just returned from shooting, and pointed it at his brother, believing it to ha unloaded.

Hamburg Loaves have been sought after, and sales have been made at 37s ; the quantity of goods offering for sale is by no means large, for although the refiners have been work ing freely for some time, yet it has been to make good their contracts for the 10th of next month.
